The video sees lead vocalist Courtney LaPlante in a mirrored bodysuit and glitter-strewn hair walking through a dark warehouse, but still shimmering when hitting small rays of light. Check out the full music video for “Ultraviolet” below. This isn’t the only new visualizer Spiritbox fans have to look forward to, as this… Read more »
We all love a powerful frontwoman, and Against The Current’s Chrissy Costanza fits the bill. The band’s new single “silent stranger” introduces fans to their “nightmare era,” which is chock-full of black and white imagery and a dark-pop edge that elevates their classic sound. It’s all about shedding the persona they’ve created for themselves and the challenges of reclaiming their authentic identity. There comes a point when the reflection in the mirror looks like a complete stranger, which Costanza sings in the lyrics, “I know all the lies/I brought to life/Now I don’t know how to be someone real/Hate that… Read more »

Punk-adjacent genius, Worriers have shared a brand new track “Top 5” today along with an announcement of a US tour this fall. The fresh indie rock track is drenched in cathartic turmoil. Somewhat of a somber track instrumentally, the lyrics prove emotionally exhausting. Exhausting in a way that feels like home, too familiar if you’ve struggled with depression or anxiety.

With lyrics like “Top 5 ways to try and stay sane / No routine is gonna keep you… Read more »
